Hello from Lima Peru! Today, we
were supposed to go to the old Centre area and visit the Inquisition museum. Unfortunately
the area was closed today because of a situation related to the president.
Yesterday the president of Peru announced that he won’t be president anymore
and people were showing up in the palace area and the police had to close off the
museum area. Wee changed our plans and went to
the Miraflores area and we had chance to walk around the beach, the town itself,
then eat lunch. After lunch we had a bus tour called the Mirabus. The bus had 2
floors and the top was open. We enjoyed riding in the open air under the sun
for an hour. On that tour we saw old buildings, statues, and enjoyed the
views of ocean and cliffs. After that tour, walked to The Love Park, and saw
beautiful art work and a statue of two people in love. After that we took taxi
and went to Barracano. We enjoyed a good 30 minutes at the BEACH!! We enjoyed the
sunset and the water. Daniel found a crab at on beach then we walked around
the area and did some shopping. We had our dinner and ice cream. Before we knew
it, it was time for bed, tomorrow is gonna be a long day! We will be flying to
Cusco and visiting historical places.

comments from Scott:
We stayed
at a hotel near the airport and it is a family run hotel. The daughter of the owner
is learning sign language and was thrilled to have our group visit so she can
work on her signing skills. Tonight she invited a local interpreter to meet us
and we enjoyed chatting with them.
